He stared at the burly man Helios in front of him with wide eyes.

And after the shock...

Teacher Hecate, you really did it on purpose. You took Medea away and didn't even bother to care about me!

A feeling of resentment began to linger in Jason's heart.

As for the fact that Helios was Medea's grandfather, Jason was surprised, but he always knew that Medea was not a human being and was closer to a nymph.

Jason quickly accepted this identity.

only......

Now that I am Medea's brother, what should I call him?

Jason always felt that the relationships around him were becoming more and more chaotic. He looked at the sun god Helios in front of him with a slight headache.

Helios, who was very satisfied with Jason, took Jason directly to the sun chariot that was waiting for Helios.

What awaited Jason next was the story of the young man named Phaethon and the sun chariot.

In fact, in Greek mythology, Apollo, the god of light, will succeed Helios, the god of the sun, and become one of the future versions of the sun god.

It is also the most popular version.

Because of Phaethon's arrogance and the favor of the sun god Helios.

Phaethon drove the sun chariot and rushed out of the door of the world.

The stars appeared and disappeared one by one as the sun chariot appeared.

The golden sun chariot and the winged Pegasus, driven by Phaethon, soared in the blue sky.

But just when Phaethon was so excited about this and even sang loudly, he did not know that the "disaster" brought by the sun chariot was also about to come.

As a human being, Phaethon did not inherit his father's divine power and was unable to control the sun chariot at all.

Then the four flaming Pegasus horses that were pulling the sun chariot neighed, their scorching breath sprayed sparks in the air, and soon the chariot was deviated from its original trajectory.

In addition, Helios swore an oath to the River of Oath and promised Phaethon to drive for one day, so the gods could not help.

Eventually, the Pegasus pulling the sun chariot lost control and released its instinct to run. It ran wildly around the world with the sun chariot and the panicked Phaethon.

So the sun, which was supposed to be high in the sky, fell from the sky to the earth.

The sun chariot never returns, and the world enters into permanent daytime.

The horrific temperature caused the grasslands to dry up, forests to catch fire, crops to burn, and lakes to turn into deserts!

People on the ground were either freezing to death or dying of heat, the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy, and the world was filled with countless resentments.

At the same time, this also prevented Zeus from meeting the goddess at night. After a period of time, Zeus realized this and struck down the divine thunder.

Then Phaethon was struck by lightning and fell into the flaming wheels of the sun chariot, disrupting the rotation of the wheels.

Finally, the sun chariot turned into a fireball with Phaethon, fell from the sky, and landed in the vast Elidanus River.

Because Phaethon's entire body was burned by the flames of the sun chariot, his soul was also contaminated by the flames, and even the underworld could not accommodate him.

Also because of this incident, Helios was condemned by the gods when the world was almost turned into a desert, and eventually lost his position as the god of the sun.

In the end, Apollo, the god of light, replaced Helios and accepted the position of the sun god.

Well... no matter which version, it seems that Apollo, the god of light, will eventually replace Helios as the god of the sun.

But in short, for various reasons, Jason was involved in this matter.

And never before had Jason shown such a positive attitude towards the god's troubles.

After all, I was just a little bit away from being taken away by Artemis and there was no way back...

Then, under the leadership of Helios, Jason followed Helios and came to the dazzling sun chariot.

When Jason walked in front of the sun chariot, the four Pegasus with flaming wings pulling the chariot immediately looked at Jason.

At the same time, the heat emitted by the solar chariot and the scorching flames are simply not temperatures that humans can withstand.

This made Jason's brows furrow slightly.

Helios observed Jason and saw that even though Jason was so close to the sun chariot, he still behaved so calmly and dignifiedly, and his eyes showed approval.

I thought to myself that it was worthy of being the center of conversation among the gods recently, and it had created many heroes that even the gods admired.

He then took out the holy ointment and prepared to anoint Jason so that he would not be burned by the blazing flames.

What surprised both of them was that the white clothes Jason was wearing suddenly ignited with the dark blue eternal fire of the underworld.

The eternal fire surrounded Jason's body, blocking the flames of the sun chariot. Under the protection of the eternal fire, Jason's frown relaxed.

"The eternal fire of the underworld? ... Child, were these clothes of yours personally tailored for you by the goddess of wisdom, Athena?"

Helios asked in slight surprise.

"Um...Lord Helios knows?"

"The main thing is that in this world, the only one who can weave clothes like this, which even I can't tell, is Athena."

Helios smiled and put down the holy anointing, saying, “It seems that you are very much loved by Athena… plus Artemis and Hecate.

Although I'd heard about it before, seeing it with my own eyes still surprised me... Mainly because they haven't started fighting yet, which is really strange."

Jason thought the previous words were nothing.

After smelling the latter part, Jason couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

And as he looked at Helios who was muttering like this, he found that he couldn't refute it... What nonsense!

Jason, feeling a slight headache, changed the subject and said, "Great Lord Helios, may I ask... should I now have the honor of riding in your noble sun chariot?"

"Yes." Helios nodded, patted Jason's shoulder with a smile, and said, "And not only will I let you ride it, I'd also like you to personally drive it today, under my supervision... Speaking of which, this chariot was built by your teacher and given to me."

"My teacher?" Jason was stunned for a moment. "Teacher Hephaestus?"

"Yes." Helios nodded, then took Jason forward and said, "Come on, son. You only have one day to familiarize yourself with the sun chariot. I hope you can save my poor child Phaethon tomorrow!"

Chapter 4: The Peak of Heaven (k)

Four Pegasus whose bodies are burning with flames and whose breath even carries sparks.

Carrying the sun god Helios sitting on the sun chariot, and the hero Hercules in white, they galloped towards the blue sky.

That’s right, the one sitting on the sun chariot now is not Jason, but the great hero in white, Hercules!

Before getting on the sun chariot, Jason asked Helios to let him wear a mask and transform himself into the white-clad hero Hercules.

The reason, of course, was because of Hera... After all, she had to sit on the sun chariot with a mortal body and drive it forward.

Jason didn't dare to bet that Hera, the Queen of Heaven, would be napping and not notice it.

Sitting in the golden sun chariot, the high-temperature flames burning in the chariot rushed towards Jason.

But under the protection of the eternal fire of the underworld, such flames would not affect Jason in the slightest.

Because the flame on the body of the sun body is not the real divine fire.

In Greek mythology, there is such a typical story.

Prometheus, the prophetic god, was the great god who stole the divine fire and gave it to mankind.

When facing the angry accusations of the king of gods Zeus, he argued that it was not him who stole the divine fire and gave it to humans, but that the sun chariot accidentally set the forest on fire while flying, and humans obtained the fire from it.

But the gods Zeus and his companions did not believe Prometheus' words at all, because the flame on the sun chariot was completely different from the divine fire and was a second-rate flame.

Therefore, the eternal fire in Jason's body could easily withstand the flames of the sun chariot.

After the sun god Helios sat on the sun chariot and held the reins of the four flaming Pegasus in his hands, his expression immediately became extremely serious.

Even a powerful god like him did not dare to relax at all when driving the sun chariot, and he tried his best.

After all, even Zeus, the most powerful god among the Olympian gods, did not want to appear to stop the sun chariot while it was running.

As for the other Olympian gods, even the god of war Ares did not dare to do so.

Athena's words may have some basis, after all, she holds the world's strongest shield in her hand.

Driven by the sun god Helios, the sun chariot gradually broke through the clouds and reached the highest point in the sky.

This was a territory that even Pegasus had never flown over, which made Jason, who was sitting quietly there, feel a little curious.

He lowered his head and looked towards the earth.

"Don't look, kid!"

Seeing this, Helios couldn't help but be shocked!

Because at this moment, the sun chariot, driven by Helios, has arrived at the highest place in the journey, which is the top of the sky!

In such a place, even Helios, the sun god, would feel dizzy and dare not look down at the ground.

Because as long as he looked at the earth, the boundless vast land and ocean would make even a god like him feel terrified!

Therefore, in Helios's view, Jason, who was looking at such a vast earth for the first time, would surely be terrified and frightened by such a scene, his face would turn pale, and he would be panicked and extremely frightened.

Helios didn't want to leave a bad impression on Jason the first time, or even leave him with a psychological trauma.

After all, his child Phaethon would be driving the sun chariot tomorrow. What if Jason, the only one who could save his child, suddenly ran away out of fear!

And then, just when Helios was worried about this...

"Um, I'm sorry, Master Helios."

Hearing Helios' voice, Jason withdrew his gaze, and under Helios' gaze, he showed an expression of deep regret.

"I was just a little curious. I won't be watching anymore, Lord Helios."

Although Jason didn't know what happened to Helios suddenly, he still admitted his mistake obediently.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to sit obediently in the solar chariot, gazing straight at the boundless sky in front of him.

Seeing this, Helios was stunned for a moment. After observing Jason carefully for a while, a strange look appeared on his face.

"Jason...oh no, Hercules."
